I was born in Moscow in 1982, graduated from the Russian State University for the Humanities in 2004 and defended my Ph.D. thesis at the same university in 2007. Since 2008, I have worked at the Institute of Scientific Information for Social Sciences (Moscow, Russia). My main research interests are the history of the Soviet Union, the history of Stalinism, the history of World War II, historiography, bibliography, scholarly resources in the Internet, and writings by J. R. R. Tolkien. I received the Fulbright grant in 2012 and worked at the Kennan Institute, Washington, D.C. for six months in 2012–13.
